Title: Spring in Manchester
Post by: fluffygrue on May 02, 2007, 10:12:40

Well, Spring was fun while it lasted.. It's now too hot to actually do anything in the garden!

Blue Heron tulips and Erysimums.. First year growing these tulips, and they're lovely. Colour doesn't come across in dodgy mobile-phone camera photos, though..
